After doing run 1 with ease found tonight’s 28 minute run tough. Maybe it was the heat but was seriously considering giving up at around the 10 minute mark and how I managed to keep going for the full 28 minutes I will never know. But I feel real good now. Maybe I will wake up at 5am on Wednesday and do run 3 before work to avoid the heat.

Gordon Bennett! Slow down! You’ll find it easier in this weather! Well done, though, but seriously, you do need to take care in these temperatures.

Slow down... no point in pushing in this weather... speed can follow Graduation:) This is intended for enjoyment and not endurance:)

Good run for you today 1985lad, perhaps you should wait until Friday morning when the weather in the morning is to cool down, even at that early time the Met Office forecast for Wednesday and Thursday morning minimum temperature in parts of England is not to go below 23C/73F with high humidity even at 6 am
